A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:Its lovliness increases; it will neverPass into nothingness; but still will keepA bower quiet for us, and a sleepFull of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathingA flowery band to bind us to the earth,Spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearthOf noble natures, of the gloomy days,Of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkn'd waysMade for our searching: yes, in spite of all,Some shape of beauty moves away the pallFrom our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon,Trees old and young, sprouting a shady boonFor simple sheep; and such are daffodilsWith the green world they live in; and clear rillsThat for themselves a cooling covert make'Gainst the hot season; the mid-forest brake,Rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms:And such too is the grandeur of the doomsWe have imagined for the mighty dead;An endless fountain of immortal drink,Pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.

This is a poem by John Keats and I found it fitting for this layout. My good friend Jocelyn takes some very beautiful pictures and this is just one example.

I made this layout using paper from K & Company.

I tore and inked the left side and laced it back together using eyelets.I attached a piece of cardboard to the back to help keep it flat as lacing a page will sometimes cause it to curl up.I used a flower shaped template to make an outline of dots around the poem. I then added inked and chalked flowers to the petals. A dot of black Scribbles 3D paint in the centers of the flowers finished the layout.

About Me

I have been scrapping for about 4 years. I really enjoy experimenting with new techniques and am always looking for new ideas.
I also enjoy photography. It is quickly becoming a main interest, rather than a secondary one!
I hope to combine my two interests to bring you new ideas in scrapping as well as photography.
